Italy




Before I had left Rome where I was at my mate's home, I went to Napoli where is an unique city as Veneci is. The city is surrarounded by the ocean and covered mountain by the snow and also a large number of castles. The villages in the center are completely different, because the street are so narrow that all of the cars the are scrathed and hit on the sides. However, the city could be one of the most beautiful if the clean up, there is rubbish and graffiti everywhere, even on the monuments and beach rocks.

From Napoli I visited Pompei where has an archeological roman city that was destroyed by a vulcan, but many stuff has been preserved, such as human bodies, collisseum, streets, houses, painted walls, basilica and even the brothel with the beds make of stones. There is no doubt that has been of most exciting places that I've been.

After being back to Rome to say bye for my mate's mother and grandmother, I travelled to the famous Foligno where my mate Debora lives. So, she and her sister picked me up at the train station at 4pm and then at 6pm we were done in the city.

The city is so small that there are just two mini buses and nobody takes them, cause it is possible to walk for everywhere there faster than any bus.

Debora kept doing her job as tour guide and the day after we drove around the cities Spello, Assisi and Perugia where I stayed for a night. It was sucks there cause it rained a lot and for that reason, I woke up early and got in Firenze. I looked foward to being there in order to watch the football match Roma x Fiorentina, in addition I have heard many good stuff about this city. Ticket for the game was bloody expensive, but it is always worthwhile a football match and I am not sure, I guess it is a derby.

Indeed, Firenze is a cool city and it seems to me that they care about the turists, because the city is clean and organized, also the information desk is really helpful if there is any question about the city or whatever you ask them.

I've just gone back from Pisa where there is the leaning tower. The city is tidy that a day trip is quite enough to hang around.

In Italy, I have been moving around a lot, cause the train ticket isn't so expensive as in other countries. On the other hand, the quality is lower than the other ones. I don't even care too much about quality right now, I do love the cheapest tickets options, even though it takes more hours travelling on a train.

I will have a free dinner at the hostel and go forward to the statium. Pasta for free is not bad.
